Tikitommy:
I found your report to be very accurate from what I experienced on visits I made there last Fall, that I reported on Tiki Central. I totally appreciate your honest opinions and I don't think there is anything wrong with having high hopes for a place, especially when it was originally promoted as being authentic with original drink recipes. Never trust an advertiser's words (sorry, tikifish!) is probably a good credo, but the involvement of Bosko and Tony Ramos made me hopeful, too.

I disagree with the members who think one should just try to ignore the faults of Taboo Cove just because the decor is so cool. I think one should be more critical of new places than of original tiki bars because it gives people good ideas on how to do it right.

I noticed you didn't mention the drinks. I thought they were awful.
